Your GA nomination of Doctor Who (2008–2010 specials)

The article Doctor Who (2008–2010 specials) you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Doctor Who (2008–2010 specials) for things which need to be addressed.

Doctor Doctor series

Infobox television season is only valid for US broadcast networks given they are the only ones that use true affiliate based networks. Every pay tv provider has channels and the same is true of non-US broadcasters. And it's only North America that uses the term season due to broadcast always scheduling on seasons. 119.224.3.221 (talk) 01:04, 20 October 2018 (UTC)

So, your only issue is terminology? That is not a reason to remove the template; that is a reason to request a change of terminology in the template. Also look at the article title, and how it includes "season". -- Alex 01:05, 20 October 2018 (UTC)
It is when it is delivering misinformation. IP users can not create or move articles to correct titles. And on a side note the template force CSS only styling which is not supported by HTML only browser engines. 119.224.3.221 (talk) 01:09, 20 October 2018 (UTC)
It is? No, it isn't. What makes you think that, what guideline or policy? And they can't, no, but they can file requested moves. I've requested other editors of the Television Project to keep an eye on those articles to make sure that no such edits occur any further. This is more certainly not an agreed upon edit, more a WP:BOLD edit that has been reverted per WP:BRD. -- Alex 01:15, 20 October 2018 (UTC)
(talk page stalker) In Australia, "season" and "series" can often used interchangeably in this context. For example, Nine Network websites refer to "season 3" here, "third series" here and "season 3" here. A lot of secondary sources use "season" but not exclusively . Using "season" in Misplaced Pages articles helps avoid confusion between referring to the "series" as a whole or a "season" as one part of the show in my opinion. -- Whats new? 01:16, 20 October 2018 (UTC)
Regardless of your opinion of season versus series. The term network is still invalid for non-US broadcast networks as well as Alex's CSS only templates not rendering correctly on non-CSS browsers. 119.224.3.221 (talk) 01:30, 20 October 2018 (UTC)
Regardless of your opinion on what should and should not be used, there is no reason to remove the template based only on terminology. You can either request changes to the template, or request a name change of the article. -- Alex 07:06, 20 October 2018 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Doctor Who (2008–2010 specials)

The article Doctor Who (2008–2010 specials) you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Doctor Who (2008–2010 specials) for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know.

A request

Hey Alex, I would really appreciate if when you change anything in the live version of an infobox, you update the sandbox with the same changes. When I try and copy over sandbox changes I come into conflict with code that I then need to figure out where it came from. Thank you! --Gonnym (talk) 06:25, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

Gonnym, is it not typically the responsibility of the editor making tests in the sandbox to update it to the live version first, then add their changes? -- Alex 11:31, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
It is, but your changes were never in the sandbox. While I do trust your code is correct and not pointing that you didn't use the sandbox to test it, I just asked that if you do add to the live version (without first testing in sandbox), please remember to also update the sandbox as then it just creates forks which someone (was me in this scenario) needs to figure out what to do. --Gonnym (talk) 11:33, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
